Hedgelaying Comps

[Graham]

Exciting stuff! I've never been in a comp before, never saw the point... But I've also never worked alongside any other hedgers before and besides an odd look or two at the nationals (both times I went I has two small kids in tow, which kind of impedes hour long observations) I've never even seen anyone else work a hedge other than a passing glance.

 

Looking forward to meeting you, I'm Daniel, 6'4" ginger-bearded Dutchman.

 

Won't be hard to miss then:001_smile: Should be a good day and always good to see others sections. Will you be laying Midland? See you at the draw.

Lovely day for the Wimpole comp. Sunny and breezy on the top of a hill. Not much of a hill as it is Cambs! All in all a nice little competion on a lovely estate all arranged by a chap called Simon Damant Wympole & Wratsworth News | Wympole & Wratsworth | ……………..National Trust…………….. Everything you need to know about the countryside at Wimpole It's well worth a look.

 

Met Woodmouse50 off here and came away with first place in Midland.
